Silvern Posted December 8, 2018 Posted December 8, 2018 Just listened to Razbam November 2018 Monthly video, and was very happy to hear that they're going to give us the KC-135 with MPRS pods. :) Woot, woot! Thanks RAZBAM, great news! :)

Pablon64 Posted December 10, 2018 Posted December 10, 2018 For newbies (like me :)): What is the difference between this one and the standard KC-135?
Emmy Posted December 10, 2018 Posted December 10, 2018 For newbies (like me :)): What is the difference between this one and the standard KC-135? Baskets reeled out from pods on each wing instead of just one reeled out from the boom (which currently doesn’t work correctly) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] http://www.476vfightergroup.com/content.php High Quality Aviation Photography For Personal Enjoyment And Editorial Use. www.crosswindimages.com
Pablon64 Posted December 10, 2018 Posted December 10, 2018 Ok, Thanks! So it's like the KC-130. And what's the advantage over KC-130?

Silvern Posted December 10, 2018 Author Posted December 10, 2018 Ok, Thanks! So it's like the KC-130. And what's the advantage over KC-130? Carries way more fuel, is faster and flies higher! :)
Pablon64 Posted December 10, 2018 Posted December 10, 2018 Ok, now I understand :thumbup: Thanks a lot!
Jester986 Posted December 10, 2018 Posted December 10, 2018 So could we tank 3 birds off this? Two probe and drogue off the wings and a boom in the middle?
AG-51_Razor Posted December 10, 2018 Posted December 10, 2018 Not until they get the basket to work on the center boom. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Jester986 Posted December 10, 2018 Posted December 10, 2018 Not until they get the basket to work on the center boom. I meant a standard boom. Like two Harriers and a F-15.
Freeroamer Posted December 10, 2018 Posted December 10, 2018 We need someone to make a Nimrod or KC707
ChuckJäger Posted December 10, 2018 Posted December 10, 2018 We need someone to make a Nimrod or KC707 KC707? You mean the KC135. That's what is coming..

joey45 Posted December 10, 2018 Posted December 10, 2018 The Nimrod wasn't a tanker. You mean the Victor or Tristar.... The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Mig Fulcrum Posted December 11, 2018 Posted December 11, 2018 KC707? You mean the KC135. That's what is coming.. KC707 is another plane, i mean, it is a B707 just like KC135 but it has the older engines and i think it can refuel only two aircraft and only with baskets.
jojo Posted December 12, 2018 Posted December 12, 2018 (edited) KC707 is another plane, i mean, it is a B707 just like KC135 but it has the older engines and i think it can refuel only two aircraft and only with baskets. KC-135 were developped from B707 but built as tanker. Some B707 were converted as KC707 tanker. KC-135 used J57 and JT3D engine, most were converted with CFM56 (more thrust, lower consumption) Edited December 12, 2018 by jojo Mirage fanatic !

timothyburton Posted December 13, 2018 Posted December 13, 2018 Ok, Thanks! So it's like the KC-130. And what's the advantage over KC-130? Well, you can't jump out of a KC-135 like you can a KC-130. AATW!
